17 11 Section 3 Introduction Description: Type X purging reduces the classification within a protected electronics enclosures from Division 1 or Zone 1 to nonhazardous. The PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version is used to provide safe control and monitoring of electrical equipment in Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous areas. To prevent the possibility of fire or explosion inside the enclosure of energized electrical equipment, a protective gas supply is used to dilute potentially flammable materials to an acceptable level, creating a safe area for the electrical equipment within the enclosure. Positive pressure prevents the ingress of flammable materials in the surrounding atmosphere from entering into the enclosure, as long as positive pressure is maintained. After the electronics enclosure is purged, power may be automatically applied to the protected electrical equipment. The PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version provides an objective evidence of the presence of adequate positive purge pressure within the electrical equipment enclosure and the enclosure s exhaust port flow. When the monitored electronics enclosure registers a pressure of at least 0.50 inch H2O (1.25 mbar) Standard, 0.30 inch H2O (0.75 mbar) Optional above the reference atmospheric pressure and the exhaust port is registering proper flow, PURGEX X Purge Controller, D version green indicator light will begin blinking. An automatic controlled dilution time cycle, set by the user, may then begin. Typically, a minimum dilution time cycle is specified to ensure that at least five (5) times the volume of free space in the enclosure is exchanged before power is automatically applied by PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version to the electrical equipment. (The number of exchanged volumes may be higher in some situations). After the automatic dilution time cycle has elapsed, the green indicator will stop blinking and go to a continuous green state. Indicating that the monitored enclosure pressure is being maintained above 0.50 inch H2O (1.25 mbar) Standard, 0.30 inch H2O (0.75 mbar) Optional and enclosure exhaust port is registering proper flow; power will then be automatically applied by the PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version to the electrical equipment within the protected purged enclosure. The PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version uses two different purge methods to dilute the electronics enclosure and maintain at least 0.50 inch H2O (1.25 mbar) Standard, 0.30 inch H2O (0.75 mbar) Optional; continuous dilution and leakage compensation. Continuous dilution is a method of maintaining pressure in an electronics enclosure in which after the electronics enclosure has been diluted below the required lower explosive limit (LEL) the protective gas is passed continuously through the electronics enclosure at a pressure above that of the required 0.50 inch H2O (1.25 mbar) Standard, 0.30 inch H2O (0.75 mbar) Optional and discharged to the outside atmosphere through an exhaust vent. The same volume of purge gas is maintained during and after the automatic dilution time cycle. Continuous dilution is normally used for maintaining and controlling heat buildup from the electronics within the pressurized electronics enclosure by continuously exchanging purge gas through the enclosure to atmosphere.

18 12 R. STAHL, Inc. offers three sizes of continuous dilution models a Small Continuous Dilution Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with a volume up to 15 cubic feet (425 liters), a Medium Continuous Dilution Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with a volume up to 75 cubic feet (2,125 liters) and a Large Continuous Dilution Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with volumes up to 200 cubic feet (5,663 liters). All Small, Medium and Large Continuous Dilution Purge Gas Inlet Kits are available in materials of anodized aluminum or 316 stainless steel. The second purge method offered by R. STAHL, Inc. leakage compensation which allows a higher volume of protective gas supply to be automatically selected to speed up dilution time of potentially flammable materials to an acceptable level, permitting a more-rapid application of initial power, or restoration of power to protected electrical equipment, after service. Leakage compensation is normally used to conserve purge gas when utilities are at a premium. When using an Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kit during the dilution time cycle power will be connected to a normally closed solenoid valve opening it and allowing a higher volume of purge gas into the enclosure being diluted. When the dilution time cycle has elapsed, the large volume of purge gas will be automatically turned off by disconnecting power to the normally closed solenoid valve through the PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version. At this time a volume of purge gas larger than the leak rate of the enclosure will be introduced into the now protected enclosure to maintain at least 0.50 inch H2O (1.25 mbar) Standard, 0.30 inch H2O (0.75 mbar) Optional. R. STAHL, Inc. offers three sizes of Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kit models. A Small Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with a volume up to 15 cubic feet (425 liters), a Medium Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with a volume up to 75 cubic feet (2,125 liters) and a Large Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kit for enclosures with volumes up to 200 cubic feet (5,663 liters). All Small, Medium and Large Automatic Leakage Compensation Purge Gas Inlet Kits are available in materials of anodized aluminum or 316 stainless steel. For installations that require a back-up pressure relief vent for the purged enclosure, R. STAHL, Inc. offers three sizes of back-up pressure relief vent kits. A Small Back-Up Vent for enclosures with a volume up to 15 cubic feet (425 liters), a Medium Back-Up Vent for enclosures with volumes up to 75 cubic feet (2,125 liters) and a Large Back-Up Vent for enclosures with volumes up to 200 cubic feet (5,663 liters). All Back-Up Vents are constructed of 316 stainless steel with an option of mounting on the top or side of an enclosure. For purged electronic enclosures monitored by the PURGEX X Purge Controller, D Version, which has electrical components with higher surface temperatures than the temperature class of the hazardous area in which the electrical equipment is located, R. STAHL offers a Back-Up Purge Gas Kit, which is used in the event that the initial protective gas supply is lost, a back-up source of protective gas is automatically applied to the protected enclosure. Electrical equipment protected with this feature is allowed to cool adequately, while preventing the ingress of flammable materials in the surrounding atmosphere from entering into the enclosure as long as positive pressure is maintained. For purged enclosures using the Back-Up Purge Gas Kits, a Protective Gas Loss Indicator can be installed for remote protective gas purge supply monitoring. By

19 13 installing one Protective Gas Loss Indicator on the initial protective gas purge supply line, an alarm signal can be sent if the initial protective gas purge supply has been lost. A second Protective Gas Loss Indicator installed on the protective back-up purge gas supply line will send an alarm signal if the protective back-up purge gas supply has been depleted, as might be the case when bottled gas is used as a back-up gas source. WARNING: Failure to heed the following information may lead to equipment damage or injury to personnel. CAUTION: Electrical equipment components may be hot even when power is not applied. Take appropriate precautions to prevent injury from contact with hot items. WARNING: Failure to allow adequate cooling of electrical equipment components with hot surfaces before opening the purged enclosure can lead to injury of personnel or equipment damage.
